Name-change feature for AUX inputs

[slayer666]

Would it be possible to add a change-name feature for AUX inputs?
If I decide to add another tom, it would be nice to be able to rename the aux input to tom5.

Or can it be done another way? I'm not a hacker and know nothing of decompling and stuff....

It would be possible to add this feature.
By keyboard or/and by sysex ?

It'll be a waste of precious RAM and EEPROM for no real added functionality.

but is it possible, since I won't be building a drumset, it doesn't really make sense to have, say my C2 note be called Tom1

Can you give it a shot? I mean if something more important comes along that does not fit because of the naming feature you can always scrap it.

There are already things planned which use RAM almost to the full on Atmega32. Do you want it in Atmega644?

[slayer666]

Doing it using sysex? would that take up space too?

[dmitri]

Of course it will take RAM space. When received via SysEx it still needs to be stored somewhere. And if you want the changes to survive power down, than EEPROM space as well. There is no space for this on Atmega32. Atmega644 is twice better off with memory so it is possible on it.
Btw, as a rare person who's built both E-drum and MegaDrum, it will be interesting to hear your unbiased (compared to mine) opinion on both!

This is the last on this topic from me: Is there a way I can modify the firmware to change it from Aux1 to whatever1?

I feel pretty rare

I will give you my opinion on both.

You can modify firmware hex. You will need to convert it to binary first, search and replace Aux1(2,3..) with what you want, but not longer than 4 bytes, and convert it back into hex
